quote:He has 3 NCs with two different teams he rebuilt in the last 9 year, both in the toughest conference in the country...and possibly on his way to more. You lose.

Ok he won 3 popularity contest? Big whoop. If I wanted to I could easily diminish all 3 but I won't because they are popularity contest not something objective. Also he's coached 3 of the top 25 programs of all time so rebuilding is a far cry from what LaVell Edwards, and Bill Synder etc have done.

3 conference championships in 17 years pretty much tells the story. Top 10 coach of the last 20 years? Sure. All time? No.

Who would most of yall place above him? I dont know many college football coachs from the past but I'm sure you could put bobby bowden, joe paterno, and bear bryant in front of him. then who? was knute rockne good? or whatever his name was. I really am clueless when it comes to college football coaches from the past

If you throw in the Penn State games it's 144 to 35 in 4 games against Tue Big Slow...err I mean Big Ten. Saban let off the gas in all 4 games or it could have been worse. In other words, just imagine how many conference titles he'd have if his LSU and Alabama teams were able to feast on a cupcake laden Big Ten schedule each season.
